The Squirrel has come out of Hibernation

So, It has been a while since my last post.

In that time I have been focusing on losing weight.

To date I have lost a total of 39.2 since I started WW. So a total overall of 57.2.

The battle continues.

Almost 1/2 way done.

Squirrel Diet Update

I forgot to post last week.

The week before last (week 4) I lost 2 pounds.

Last week (week 5) I lost 1.8 pounds.

Total amount lost: 10.4 pounds!!

I was very excited to hit the 10 pound mark.

This week I need to push myself a little bit harder because I am losing a day because I have to go to the Sunday WW meeting because our regular Monday meeting was canceled.

New menu item:

Last week I made a homemade quesadilla with low-fat cheese, fat free refried beans and veggies! It was good!!

Also, my super nice friend found me the BEST banana chocolate muffins!! One of my favorite sweet foods was the "reduced-fat" (hello, not that reduced) banana chocolate cake from Starbucks. The muffins taste JUST like the Starbucks cake but they are only 3 WW points!!! SOOO DELICIOUS!!!

Squirrel Diet Update

I have completed 3 weeks of weight watchers!!! Three weeks with no pizza or fries or chips!!

Last week I made a point to drink more water, go to the gym 5 days out of the week and do more stuff around the house before watching TV.

Last weeks favorite meal I cooked:

Sunday -
Turkey Burger with sauteed onions and mushroom, a slice of WW cheese and crisp lettuce on a toasted roll with a side of corn. I think I should go on Top Chef!! Yum!

Grand Total Lost: 6.6 pounds

St. Patrick's Day Poem

Once there was a leprechaun
who lived in a far away land
and when he'd introduce himself
he'd say hi-dalee-ho, I am Don!

All day long he would sing this tune
and this is how it went:

"I'm Don, I'm Don, the lep-re-chaun
and I am searching for gold.
I like, to wear, green all day long
It looks like my suit's made of mold.
Gold, is all, I care about
Each piece is mine, mine, mine.
The gold, I'll never share about
and that's just fine, fine, fine"

Then, while sitting by a rainbow one day
He heard the most beautiful sound
He walked and walked to investigate
and this is what he found.

A beautiful lady singing a song so sweet
and this is how it went:

"I'm Fawn, I'm Fawn, the lep-re-chaun
and I am searching for gold
I like, to wear, green all day long
It looks like my dress is made of mold
Gold, is all, I care about
Each piece is mine, mine, mine
The gold, I'll never share about
and that's just fine, fine, fine"

But Don, he was a leprechaun
and so his heart turned cold
he chased, and caught and beat poor Fawn
and he stole all of her lovely gold!!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

WW Update

I have completed 2 weeks of weight watchers!!! Two weeks with no pizza or fries or chips!!

I gave lost a grand total of 3.6 pounds.

3 last week and .6 this week. I swear their scale is evil. I didn't go off the diet once and I went to the gym 4 times. .6 seems a little low!!! But...I guess losing .6 is better then gaining it. I'm hoping to lose more this week. My goal is to hit the gym at least 5 times this week.

I have a long way to go, but everyone has to start somewhere.

Day of the Tentacle

As you may have guessed, I am sort of a dork. That is why, because of my "dorkness", I am blogging from my iphone.

My computer is and will remain unavailable for the next week or so. You see, I recently found my old copy of the computer game Day of the Tentacle ("DOTT"). This was the first computer game I can remember being completely addicted to. Though it has a CD (so high tech when it came out during the age of the floppy) it isn't compatible with my new computer and must be run through the horrifying DOS box!....blah blah computer talk...blah blah!!

Anyway, after two hours trying to get it to run, it finally works, only now it won't save the game....so, I figure I will play it though until a. I beat it (I beat it once about 14 or so years ago) or b. My ADD wins out and I move onto something new.

So until one of those things happen I will be blogging from my iPhone.

Lost Recap -- 03/04

This weeks Lost was pretty good but it wasn't as "intense" as the other
episodes. I like the direction they are taking Sawyer. He is not one of
my favorite characters so it is good to finally see him doing something
that doesn't make him look like a big loser.

We learned a couple of more things last night...we got to see that in
1974 that statue with the 4 toes is still standing. So something must
have happened between then and now to knock it over, something
big...something like this "war" they have mentioned coming. Also, that
people on the island during this time can have healthy babies. Which
implies that whatever happened to destroy the statue is possibly
connected to why people can't have babies on the island anymore (I like
this theory even more because these two factors were brought together in
one show). We also learned that Richard and his minions are immune to
the sonic fence, which raises the question we have already been asking
because of his never aging status, Is he human? Also, is he the only one
who never ages? If others in his camp are also unaffected by the fence,
maybe they don't age either. They mentioned him wearing eyeliner again
too. Whether this comment is just some sort of writers running joke or
whether there is a reason for the eyeliner or whatever it is, of course,
is still unknown.
